1. Ignore It

Usually the most expensive option when you count the cost of hard water scaling damage to your hot water system, washing machine, taps, showers, irons, coffee machines, as well as higher fuel costs (1/4” of scale in your hot water system increases cost by 40%), hard water marks around taps and basins, extra soap costs and the damaging effect to sensitive skin.

2. Buy a water softener

Costs depend on size but are between £350 and £1000 and between £30 and £150 a year on salt. You also have to remember to fill the softener with salt and it is not recommended to drink the water.

3. Buy a magnet or other in-line device

Magnets that clip onto the pipe cost from £25-£100.These are usually found to be partially effective and tend only to work under ideal flow conditions. The water generally stays treated for only a short period and therefore to treat a whole house a number of these are needed and the effect is generally not

powerful enough to remove existing scale. Other in-line devices are usually either ionisation or catalytic and have been found to suffer some of the same limitations as magnets with variable results.

4. Buy a Scalewatcher

A Scalewatcher uses the same principle as magnets but uses powerful high audio frequency signals that are designed to effectively treat all water conditions and flow rates. The water stays treated for 5 days or more and one unit can therefore treat the whole house. Existing scale is removed with consequent saving on hot water costs and if you have sensitive or dry skin you will be amazed by the relief Scalewatcher gives you. Proven in industry over many years the Scalewatcher brings the latest scale prevention technology to your home. The six month performance guarantee gives you the assurance of effective scale treatment or your money refunded. The cost is usually half the price of a water softener with a running cost of £3 a year. If it sounds too good to be true then try one - you will be amazed by the results.

If you have hard water problems you have several choices:-

erLaunched twenty years ago, the Scalewatcher is the original electronic conditioner and remains the highest quality and most effective product of its type on the market.

Whilst we are flattered by the number of copies that have appeared on the market, when comparing other products it is worth considering the following points.

• How long on the market? - Scalewatcher has twenty years market experience.

• Success rate - Scalewatcher has a proven 98% success rate.

• Tested or reported on by - Perfect Homes, Home Building and Decorating, Build It, Practical Householder, Kitchens Bedrooms and Bathrooms, Essential Living, and Garden Answers. No other product has this test record, and some have no consumer tests.

• Audio or radio frequency - Scalewatcher uses a patented audio frequency system. Most other products therefore use radio frequency. This needs more space for two coils, can interfere with radio and T.V. and is not as effective.

• Transformer - Scalewatcher has a built in transformer - others often use external transformers built into plugs. These have a limited life, usually five years, are difficult to replace and can run hot.

• Designed to last - Scalewatcher has a computerised circuit board protected by resin encapsulation with an estimated life of twenty years. Most others have no protection and therefore are prone to corrosion, with an expected life of around five to ten years.

• External Box - Scalewatcher is boxed in a high quality box designed for a twenty year life. Others are usually a very thin plastic with a life of around five to ten years.

• Technical Support - We offer a free technical visit if required in addition to our telephone help line.

No other product on the market has all the features of the Scalewatcher, which adds up to the best performing, longest lasting water conditioner available.

er“It has quite obviously helped to eliminate scale. Certainly

inside six months there was obviously a big improvement.”

Build It, March 1996.

“The first effect of the one we tested was to release the

scale which had built up within the electric shower, with

significantly less scale forming around the bath and basin

taps, making it easier to keep the place clean.”

Practical Householder, May 1997.

“Yes, it does work. We’ve given a sample a road test.”

Perfect Homes, January 1993.

“Now, the immersion heater element is clean. The

torchlight inspection revealed no scale build-up on the

indirect cylinder coil.”

R. Bisby, Test Report.

“Confirming your guarantee of eliminating scale, which it

most certainly does with spectacular results.”

Plumbing Lecturer, Hammersmith and West London College.

“No longer do I need to use the oil or cream and my skin is

not cracking. So! No scaly kettle and no scaly skin.”

Eczema suffering nurse, Mrs Moody, Hants.

“I can thoroughly recommend Scalewatcher from every

point of view.”

R W Lowden, Hampshire.

“The most dramatic difference has been in scale removal

and the washing machine.”

S R New, Bournemouth.

“In conclusion, I would certainly recommend this appliance

as a sound investment.”

D G McSherry, London.

“It has performed entirely up to the standards in your

performance guide and therefore I am delighted with the

product.”

D A Dunkley, Surrey.

“It really works. Things just do not scale up any more.”

Technical Officer, RAF Mildenhall.

“I am pleased to say it appears to be working satisfactorily.

Within a few weeks of installation the showerhead was

free of scale, and it is now much easier to clean the

shower base and round taps in the basin. I will certainly

recommend to anyone who might be interested.”

Mrs Paine, Hants.

“I suddenly noticed that my hands which had been dry

and scaly, were now soft and silky.”

F E Smith, Finchley.

“It seems to do all the things you claim for the system.

Lavatory cisterns now sparkle and the scale has fallen off

round taps, dishwasher elements and kettle casing and

elements. Marks have vanished in basins and lavatory

pans and glasses dry without water marks. A truly

remarkable device and one which we can thoroughly

recommend.”

R A Wartnaby, Coventry.

“Within days of its installation I was able to clear the

scale which had built up around my taps, shower head,

sink, bath and wash basin.”

R J Dyke, Dorset.

“The toilet bowls are now scale free which makes them

easier to clean. My wife and daughter have noticed

that their hair is softer after washing and they use less

shampoo.”

B Hodges, Staffs.

Roger Bisby is products editor of Professional Builder

trouble shooting spot on London Radio and appears regularly on national

television as a spokesman for the plumbing and heating industry.

I have been running a Scalewatcher in myhouse since January 1993. My test forHome Building and Decorating magazinewas completely objective.

I can confirm that it worked in accordancewith the manufacturer’s claims andcontinues to work very well. In reducing thebuild up of scale in your hot water system itcan save you a considerable amount ofmoney. Tests show that as little as 3millimetres of scale can increase fuel costs by15%. Most houses in hard water areas havea lot more than this, so a Scalewatcher couldpay for itself in a couple of years – after

which it is putting money into your bank.That’s the product but what about thecompany selling it?

With so many inexperienced companiesnow entering this market you need to besure that the guarantee is genuine.Scalewatcher is the original electronic waterconditioner launched in 1989 and I canconfirm that Fast Systems is achieving agenuine 98% success rate with the product.They aren’t in business to give money backbut if they can’t solve your scale problemyou will be given a full refund, without fussor quibbling.

“We had your electronic descaler fitted in

may 2002 as we had just had a new

bathroom fitted and wanted to keep taps etc

unspoilt with water scaling (which

is very bad in the area we live

with the hard water)and we

already had bad scaling on

our other sanitary fittings.

Since then the new taps are

still like new and the old taps

and toilet became clear of old

scale a few months after the

electronic descaler was fitted. I

was very happy with your

electronic descaler but the main

test was today when we had our

indirect hot water cylinder

removed because it was leaking

and I was interested to see what

condition the tank was in inside as it

was originally fitted 20/1/88. With a torch I

could see how clear the tank and coil were

despite being 18 years old. I could see no

scale at all except for some small loose

lumps of scale in the bottom of the drained

tank.What a contrast to the previous hot

water cylinder we had removed in 1988

which was completely furred up with scale.I

was elated to see how well your descaler had

worked because we are about to have a new

combination boiler fitted and I am totally

confident that your descaler will keep it

runnning efficiently.

The local plumber was also very impressed

with the clean condition of the cylinder

after such a long period of time.The water

cylinder was leaking from the bottom rim

and the plumber who removed it believes

the leakage was caused by old flux which

plumbers used to use fitting these tanks .He

believes the flux contained acid which

slowly ate away at the copper rim.We are

about to fit another one of your descalers in

our refurbished second home.
